If your study playlists need a refresh, Amazon Music’s three-month free offer is the perfect excuse to dive into something new. Here’s our top picks for this month (and also one of the most-streamed albums on Amazon Music right now):
Billie Eilish – HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE)
If you want something that feels a bit more immersive, Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE) brings her latest era to life in a completely different way.
Dropping on Thursday, 1st May, this live album captures the energy of her tour, turning some of her most recent tracks into a more raw, in-the-moment listening experience. It’s less about polished production and more about atmosphere — the crowd, the vocals, and the emotion all coming through.
If you’ve had theoriginal albumon repeat already, this gives you a new way to experience it. And if you haven’t yet, this is a strong place to start — especially if you want something that hits a bit harder while you’re walking to uni or taking a break from revision.

Noah Kahan – The Great Divide

Following the success of Stick Season, this new release leans into his signature folk-pop sound – emotional, reflective, and very easy to have on repeat during long library sessions.
It landed on Thursday, 24th April, making it perfectly timed for finals season.
Who doesn’t love a good audiobook? Whether you’re walking (or running) to your next lecture or doing a quick food shop, audiobooks are the easiest way to keep up with the latest reads – hands-free.
And with the Amazon Audible student discount, you can start listening with a 30-day free trial. Here are a couple of reads/listens we recommend you start playing:
The Housemaid & The Housemaid’s Secret – Freida McFadden
If you want something gripping, this is where to start.
The Housemaidintroduces Millie Calloway, who takes a job working for a wealthy family, only to find herself pulled into a tense, unpredictable situation where nothing is quite what it seems... The sequel, The Housemaid’s Secret, raises the stakes even further, placing Millie in another household filled with secrets and manipulation.
With the first book recently adapted into a film starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney – and a second film already announced for 2027 – there’s a lot of hype around this series right now. If you’re into psychological thrillers that keep you guessing, this is an easy add to your list.
Off-Campus series – Elle Kennedy
If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the Off-Campusseries is a solid pick.
Starting with The Deal, the story follows a fake-dating romance between a music student and a university hockey captain; mixing humour, relationships, and all the chaos that comes with student life.
With five books in the series (The Deal, The Mistake, The Score, The Goal, and The Legacy), it’s the kind of listen you can stick with beyond just one title — especially if you’re looking for something easy to dip into between exams.
